- Title: The Hunt For The Camden Ripper
- Date: 8th January 2004
- Summary: The discovery of human body parts behind a pub in Camden over Christmas 2002 triggered one of the Metropolitan Police’s largest man hunts and shocked the nation with the tale of one man’s brutal murder of three London women. But the story of the search for Anthony Hardy also revealed some painful truths about the anonymity of a city, and the complex challenges facing mental health units charged with protecting both the public and their patients. This film can be viewed in full on the Film Archive page Press Reaction “Mesmerising…. Olly Lambert’s film is a quite beautiful documentary about a bloody, horrendous subject. It was measured and thoughtful throughout, from its interviews with police officers, mental healthcare professionals and Hardy’s neighbours, through its portrayal of London as a place of anonymity…. Of course it was sensational – films such as this can’t not be – but it was also a considered examination of the failures of the system. It was about the things – and the people – we throw away.” Gareth McLean, The Guardian “A measured, searching documentary… Engrossing.” Time Out Guardian article Production Credits Production Company: Just TV Narrator: Juliet Stevenson Film Editor: Julian Rodd Composer: Chris Whitten Camera: Chris Cox Sound: Tim Watts Producer: Sylvia Jones Executive Producer: Nina Davies Commissioning Editor: Danny Cohen Director: Olly Lambert
